how much draw you think i can get out of this one
« on: August 29, 2013, 09:16:22 pm »
I made a 60" molly with 14 inch levers . I had to make them that long because of wind checks. But anyhow I am making a bendy handle will have  32 inches working . One inch handle 1 1/4 fades.. what do you think I can get out of it . And I did sinew back it also

My 68" long 30" working limb Oregon Ash molly made it to 25 without a problem, I'm sure you can go farther especially with better wood.
50#@26"

Might as well make them short, save some wood to keep warm.

You know I've made several bendy unbacked Molly's bend half of there length,and a couple that draw an inch or two even past that with good results and not over stressing the wood...at 60" with sinew I'm sure you can take it to 30" no problem if tillered right....you shouldn't have to worry about it with your 24" snap draw/shot...I'd even keep the handle a lil more on the stiffer side
